Digital disrupters in every sector of shipping are taking advantage of the inability of maritime folk to meet and do business.
Among the latest ventures is Unafix, a Dutch procurement portal for shipping agents, lawyers and surveyors, which has just completed its first transaction with Holwerda Shipmanagement.
Another dedicated to the shiprepair sector, Trusteddocks, has completed a capital-raising project, which led to Zeaborn Ship Management joining as a shareholder alongside Germany’s MPC Capital.
